According to officials from the apparatus of the Security Council, Moscow will host Russian-Chinese consultations on public security, justice, and law and order on a scheduled date in May. The discussions will be conducted by senior Russian and Chinese officials who lead the security and legal policy authorities of their respective governments. The meeting underscores ongoing cooperation between Moscow and Beijing in key areas of national security and governance.
These consultations are a regular feature in the bilateral relationship, addressing a wide range of security issues, legal coordination, and policy alignment. Earlier this year, parallel discussions on strategic stability took place in China, with senior officials from both countries steering the dialogue. The recent gathering in Moscow marks a continued exchange at high levels, reinforcing the partners’ commitment to mutual security interests.
It is noted that the consultations contribute to the strengthening of Russia-China relations. The leadership emphasized that cultivating a strategic partnership with China remains a priority in Russia’s foreign policy and that the bilateral relationship holds intrinsic value beyond external fluctuations in global politics.
In past remarks, Russian authorities stressed the importance of safeguarding the population amid concerns about the rise of terrorist incidents and attempts by certain actors to penetrate domestic areas. Officials also indicated that NATO’s increased activity near Russia’s borders is a factor in regional security considerations, highlighting the broader security environment in which these bilateral discussions occur.
